Meal replacement refers to food that partially or completely replaces dinner. Common meal replacement in the market are meal replacement powder, meal replacement stick, meal replacement milkshake and meal replacement porridge. Meal replacement has the characteristics of low calorie, high fiber, strong satiety, simplicity and convenience, and is deeply loved by dieters.
But whether it is good to lose weight and eat meal replacement depends on one's attitude towards meal replacement. Generally speaking, it is beneficial to eat meal replacement properly during weight loss, especially on the second day after eating a lot. Taking meal replacement can effectively reduce the digestive burden of gastrointestinal tract and reduce the speed of fat accumulation, which is of great help to weight loss.
If meal replacement is completely used instead of dinner, you may see a very obvious weight loss effect in a short time, but over time, it will lead to insufficient nutrient intake, induce malnutrition, anemia and other diseases, and even lead to changes in hormone levels in the body and hair loss.
In addition, if you simply rely on meal replacement to lose weight, once you return to normal diet, you may cause weight rebound, even heavier than before you lose weight. Therefore, in order to be healthy and lose weight for a long time, I suggest you choose a healthy and scientific way to lose weight.
